Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 464g/pt ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 0.96 pints of cooking wine
  2. 1 pint of cooking wine = 464g
  3. 0.96 × 464 = 445.44g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 445.44 ÷ 453.592 = 0.98 lb

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
